papageorge1 Posted April 21, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I guess I'll start with a question. Do police carry taser guns and could it have been used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted April 21, 2021 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Too much unknown at the time. If the person did have a knife and was going after another person it could be justified. i won't make any judgement at this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Reaper 6 Posted April 21, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2021 A Columbus, Ohio, police officer fatally shot a teen girl Tuesday afternoon while responding to a call about someone armed with a knife, officials said. Portions of officer body-camera footage shown by police hours after the incident appeared to show the girl attempting to stab another female just before the gunfire. After the shooting, there appears to be a knife on the ground by the person who was shot. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ohio-police-fatally-shoot-teen-girl-after-call-about-knife-attack/ar-BB1fSkGQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odas Posted April 21, 2021 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2021 As far as I was able to understand the story this was justified to save someone elses life. Unfortunate and tragic yes, but if the cop did not act we could have more than one fatality. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromdor Posted April 21, 2021 #14 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Seems a bit complicated at first glance. She was the one that was calling the police and she was at her own home with the other two girls as trespassers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that will apply or not but it's been suggested on social media it could come into play. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted April 21, 2021 #16 Share Posted April 21, 2021 strange, it's barely been a day and the bodycam video is already released, pretty strange how some videos are released next day others cops do not release due to "active investigation" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious if the Castle Doctrine is voided once the police show up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them just as easily shooting a homeowner with a gun defending his property against intruders. It's a big flaw with Castle Doctrine. It's also the problem of being armed in a mass shooting event. You don't have a big sign on your head saying, "Hero" but you do have a big sign over your gun saying, "Active Shooter". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cops here in Iowa joke that if you shoot someone make sure their corpse falls on your property and if they don't be sure to drag them.

Nothing would keep him out of the wringer. If he didn't act and the wee lamb stabbed another black girl to death, it would be HIS fault. RAY-SUS dontchaknow? This crap is beyond ridiculous and IMO, any cop who can see where this Marxist-led evil is headed, is a FOOL to keep working in the field. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple So do you (or anyone here) know the likelihood that after being shot by a taser, she could have continued with the stabbing of someone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
